[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The book will only be inflammatory because some people will not like the truths they hear.  It challenges you to understand your implicit biases, or contributions to allowing discriminatory systems to continue. It is hard to hear. And, while I didn't necessarily agree with everything, it was quite eye opening.

If you're turned off by the title (I was too), you are someone who should read it.

If you think hearing what she has to say (noted above) is "offensive" or "inflammatory", you DEFINITELY should read the book. It talks about that defense mechanism quite effectively.

Since when do we just bury our heads in the sand b/c we may not like something? Quit being a baby and give it a read before you start complaining. Geez. [/quote]

Does anyone know when the sequel,  White Exhaustion, drops? That's going to include some  truths some people might not like to hear also. Such as white people are constantly blamed for the problems of black people and told we have to do more, all the while living in a reality where 13% of the population commits 50% of all violent crime. There needs to be balance ni order to have a "discussion" otherwise it's not very productive. [/quote]
